Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pyrex Storage Deluxe 3-Quart Round Dish, Clear with Blue LidCustomer Review: my favorite microwaving and leftover-storage containers Summary: 4 Stars
We have owned four of these containers for at least 3 years, maybe 4 years, and have used the smaller ones almost daily. They have lasted well, except that some of the plastic lids have started to become slightly brittle, less flexible. However, they still seem like a good deal for the price, considering how much we have used them. We use the 3-quart size less frequently, and the lid is still like new.
These containers are great for microwaving, and storing leftovers in the fridge. They do not retain odors from garlic, etc. There has been no staining, even when tomato sauce splatters on the lid. The glass containers can also go in the oven (without the plastic lids of course), but I have not used them for that.
The clear glass makes it easy to view your food while microwaving. The lid has a nifty vent hole that allows some, but not all steam, to escape. The vent has a tab that can be closed later to form a tight seal, when you want to store the leftovers in the refrigerator. The lids are almost flat, slightly indented, which allows another bowl to be stacked on top.
Like other plastics, the lids may get small white pitted spots on the interior, if someone seriously overcooks the food in the microwave -- too high a power setting for too long a time. My husband has a tendency to do this. I wonder if this overheating is the reason that some of the most-often-used lids have become slightly brittle. Or is it because I put the lids in the dishwasher (on the top rack)? Or will this just happen after years of frequent use?
The 3-quart size is useful when making several servings.
